Things to do in Alula International Airport
Al-Ula is Saudi Arabia's most extraordinary archaeological destination — an ancient oasis city and one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Arabia. Hegra (Madain Saleh) — Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site — has over 100 Nabataean-carved rock tombs dating from the 1st century BCE through the 1st century CE, rivaling Petra in scale and preservation but receiving a fraction of its visitors. The surrounding landscape of sandstone inselbergs, canyons, and rock art spans over 7,000 years of human history.
